Arkansas Women Bloggers Unplugged (#awbu) 2013 Conference Announcement

If you blog and you live in Arkansas, you have heard about those extraordinary blog conferences Arkansas Women Bloggers have put on in the natural state. From our first year at a camp in the woods of Northwest Arkansas to last year at The Park Wife’s home at the Ozark Folk Center State Park, bloggers from across the state and beyond (shout out to Oklahoma and Missouri) have gathered together for  hooting, hollering, bonding,  learning, unwinding and the beginning of many, many friendships.  We unplugged our computers and plugged into each other.  #AWBU has become a legend of its own.  Some of you missed it.  Don’t let that happen again.

It’s finally time for our THIRD Arkansas Women Bloggers Unplugged conference. This isn’t Blissdom, BlogHer, Blog Sugar or anything like it – and it isn’t meant to be an intense “real” blogger conference.  #AWBU is better/different: it’s your chance to unplug for the weekend, network with other Arkansas women bloggers, pick up tips, gain inspiration and grow – as a human, and as a blogger.

So, drum roll please……… when and where?

at Ferncliff Camp and Conference Center

10 miles west of Little Rock!

 

Registration and tons of details will be revealed on March 1, yes, just a few days away! So… plan now to just do it! Mark your calendars, arrange to be away from home (I know that takes some planning if you have kiddos), get ready to step away from the screen.  You can do this.  We’ll have an idyllic setting and real, live, face-to-face connections with other bloggers and inspiring speakers to fuel and refresh you to return home ready to face it all.  You know, the work – the play – the cooking – the cleaning – the amazingly improved and refocused blogging.

Will you be a first time #AWBU attendee? Does the thought of this make you nervous? Well, read some first hand accounts from last years Arkansas Women Blogger Unplugged attendees.

We look forward to seeing you in September where we will be able to yet again live out our mission to Gather, Grow, and Connect!

Will you be there?

      Amanda, I just hopped over to your blog, I love it! Try to make it to the conference, I might be a little bit biased, but it is so wonderful. I would love to meet you! Stephanie (The Park Wife)

    I so hope I can come! I really wanted to go last year and was unable. I have really enjoyed getting to “know” some of the ARWB through the link-ups and challenges over the past year. I hope to get to KNOW some of these folks in real-life!

    Yay, I’m so excited. It’s on my calendar (and my boss’) and I’ll be there. Hoping to actually meet some of my new blog/twitter friends as well.

      Thanks Kelcie, my 10-year-old took it, yes, that is why it is very off center and from an unflattering angle due to his height. But, it is a great place, the people of the conference center are wonderful and it is going to be another great year at #AWBU. I am so gald you will be there. I have something up my sleeve YOU are going to love!

    I’d like to go again this year, but I don’t know if I’ll be able to tear myself away from a new baby so soon! I’m sure it will be amazing.

    Definitely planning on this one. You know I learned of the first one the week AFTER it happened, and never knew about the second one. Waa! However, I’ve got it down, now and hope hope hope that I can make this happen!
